Valentine’s Day doesn’t cancel out a year of inconsistency. Flowers, gifts, and dinners aren’t substitutes for communication, effort, and accountability. In this episode, I talk about transactional love, uneven emotional labor, and why one holiday can’t fix what’s been missing all year. Love is built daily—not paid for once a year.

New year, same me — just more grounded.

In this season opener, I’m checking back in without the pressure of becoming a “new version” of myself. I talk about where I’m at, what I’m carrying into the year, and what I’m leaving behind — without the forced resolutions.

I share updates on the books I currently have out, reflect on navigating the 9–5 grind and the everyday hassle that comes with it, and take a quiet moment to honor my dad on his heavenly birthday.

This episode is part reflection, part reality check, and part pause — a reminder that growth doesn’t always need a rebrand.

Soph talks about what it costs to always be the dependable one — the “rock” everyone leans on but rarely checks on. This episode digs into the emotional exhaustion that comes with holding it all together, even when you’re the one falling apart inside.

It’s raw, relatable, and full of that quiet honesty that only the strong ones will fully understand. Because sometimes, being strong isn’t strength — it’s survival.
